Blackmarch

Khalesh

From A History of the Northwest Region of the Dragon Empire by Abraxas Weatherwell, sixth printing, courtesy of the private collection of Count Henry of the Black March:

And yet, I insist that I have not only seen these so-called wild elves, but have spoken with their elders, accompanied their hunters in search of game and seen with my own eyes a terrifying struggle between their warriors and an owl-bear. Sitting around their campfires I have heard strange tales of this country that I am sworn not to repeat, but which would curdle your blood to hear: of the Icy Lake Ghost Woman, the Crow Mountain Light, and the living dungeon Khalesh, which could not be defeated but only halted in its relentless ascent to the surface during the Second Age by an alliance of icons such as had not been seen since the final battle against the Wizard King.
